Summary, etc.:

Invoking literature, pop culture and the cinema, Rushdie spins the story of the American zeitgeist over the last eight years, hitting every beat: the rise of the birther movement, the Tea Party, and identity politics; Gamergate; the backlash against political correctness; and, of course, the insurgence of a ruthlessly ambitious, narcissistic villain with painted skin and coloured hair.
